Living With Mountains ... Waterlight

With first light mountains begin to fill
the pool where its water´s been quiet all night,
and now where swimming´s climbing through water,
climbing the shining escarpments, over alpine meadows
towards the heights of sleep
-- what still water had held-- until,
while having gone to bed in the darkening valley,
sun splashes the last of its light
on mountains overhead.
